澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live showrunner has opened up on how Jadis's long-planned arc in🥀formed the spin-off – and revealed that ✅the Civic Republic Military wasn't ever actually supposed to be in it at all.
"She's the reason Rick winds up where he does, and we envisioned her as a very big part of the story," the franchise's chief content officer Scott Gimple says of Pollyanna McIntosh's complicated character in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SFX magazine's new issue, which features Dune 2 on the coverꦜ. "J🐽adis's story was a long time in the works."

Starring Danai Gurira and Andrew Lincoln, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live picks up with fan favorites Rick and Michonne almost ten years after the former was whisked 🌜off in a mysterious helicopter in season 9. Turns out, over the last decade, Rick has been a "prisoner" of the CRM, the organization briefly introduced in Fear the Walking Dead, before being explored more fully in The Walking Dead: The World Beyond. The community – which is three-cities wide and almost entirely self-sufficient – believes secrecy is paramount and with that, bans its inhabitants from leaving without permission from the top brass.
Longtime fans will remember it was Jadis that got Rick on that chopper, so it's hardly a surprise that there are serious tensions between the pair in the new series. Jadis embracing her more selfish, villai🍌nous side after years of learning to work with Rick and the gang, and even falling in love with Father Gabriel (Seth Gilliam), is unexpected to say the least. It's even more curious, then, that it's been in the pipeline for a while.

As for the CRM, Gimple says, "In some ways, that was initially planned to come out maybe after this. And to be, in some ways, different," he adds, noting how the many delays in 🦩production shifted some ideas. "Timing got really twisted there. It was supposed to be another look at aspects of this; a smaller look, to tell you the truth.
"But with all the shows, I always look for those threads to connect. You never know hoꦑw things will schedule, how things come together, and the stories go. What works, and what doesn't. The CRM in this story, and ev𒊎erything that happens, is certainly part of that."
